Pages only exporting first page when selecting .pdf

I have a document that, when I export to a .pdf file, only exports the first page. The footer says "page 1 of 2" and the document when opened in Pages on the iPad shows both pages, but when I export to .pdf I only get the first page.

As a work around, I can duplicate the document and delete the first page to get the second page in a separate .pdf file, but that is hokie. I've sent other documents to .pdf and they work fine.

This document was created on the iPad. I have this problem whether I e-mail it or copy it down to my MBP through iTunes. I learned about this when someone I sent the file two via e-mail called and asked where the second page was. He has a PC.

The document has a header and footer, and the contents are just two tables.

Anyone else having this problem?

iPad, iPhone OS 3.1.3

havent encountered this problem yet, i have a more serious question regarding this Export files from ipad, i notice once its created there is no way of deleting it , it only shows on itunes under file sharing, you can add or save to... but thats all you can do, does anybody tried to erase these files once you have transfered them and dont need them anymore,cause it does shows a file size and im afraid if this stays inside your ipad its eat up a lot of MB's afterwards

I also didn't have that problem. The only problem i have with pdf support that the resulting pdfs are not supported by acrobat reader (foxit can open them).
@TJUp: when connected to the iTunes go to applications and scroll down to file sharing part. Then select the files yiu want to delete and then tap delete key if your keyboard. That should delete the exported files.

I tried exporting a Pages doc exported in PDF and all pages do export exactly as written. Be sure to get the update for Pages for the iPad. This may have been something that was corrected in the new version.

I am still experiencing the problem, even after updating Pages. Is there an e-mail address I can send a file to that displays this problem? I created the file using Pages for iPad and the file has never left the device for editing.

Thanks!
